An encoding from Richard Pavlicek. This encoding comes from an email discussion with Richard Pavlicek. It is considerably simpler and more natural than my encoding. See his Mapping of Bridge Deals page for a description of the algorithm.

public PavlicekBook()

Method Detail

getPage

public int[] getPage(java.math.BigInteger pageNo)

Description copied from class: ImpossibleBook

Convert an integer between 0 and Pages-1 to a deal. The deal is represented as an array of 52 integers between 0 and 3. The ith element determines who gets the ith card from the deck. This means that this doesn't really determine a deal - you also need a set of hand and card encodings - North=0,East=1,South=2,West=3, AceofSpades=51,...,TwoOfClubs=0 is one such encoding.
